But were these generals the cause of the fall? Far from it! Without capable men such as Stilicho, Aetius, and Ricimer the Western Empire would likely have succumbed to invasion and disease much earlier. Why the Germanic generals were less acceptable to the Romans than the Illyrian generals who saved Rome during the crisis of the 3rd Century we will never know – but in a less intolerant world they could perhaps have reinvigorated and saved the Empire like just as men like Aurelian had a century before.
